The Impact of Mass Incarceration on Black Families

Quick fact

In the United States, approximately one in three Black boys born in 2001 will likely go to prison or jail in their lifetime, compared to one in 17 white boys—and that risk directly translates into broken families.

Imagine a family dinner with three empty chairs. For millions of Black families, that's not imagination—it's the outcome of a policy you can trace back to a single sentence of federal law.
